Good post. Implementing government across County lines is bound to save tax dollars as well. There would be no need for 10 superintendents- only one, with some support of course.

While I understand the opposition to vouchers (fear of a mass exodus of those those who can not afford private education- hmmmmm). The issue that must be discussed is that the failing district must begin to compete for students, by providing a viable option. Milwaukee is one district where public schools must compete with magnets, parochial, and private. If a parent/ student is unhappy, they vote with their feet, which ultimately affects the bottom line. At some point, educators must understand that they are providing a service and that if what they are doing isn’t working, they must change it or dismantle it and start over.
